Bio

Hey everyone! My name is Jelani Grant and I am a first year in the MHS Epi class. I am a final year cardiology fellow at Johns Hopkins and interested in lipidology (cholesterol), preventive cardiology and risk prediction. I am originally from Trinidad and Tobago, also known as a “Trini”. I am a huge Manchester Untied fan and I am suffering because we have not been winning for the last 10 years!
